For Edmontonians interested in getting a rare-glimpse of the Calgary-Southwest-based Conservative Party leader, Stephen Harper will be rolling through town on Thursday, **September** 25 to attend an event MCed by Edmonton-Strathcona Tory Rahim Jaffer.

Edmonton is a major city that every leader should be visiting at least once despite the fact it will likely go Tory across the board. I highly doubt Jaffer's seat will flip, but the PM's event should help shore up support. Is it true it is a CPC members-only event?

There's a rally in Edmonton every campaign. What are you people thinking?

And the PM should be off trying to win the winnables while his capable Alberta team handles the home front. Representation doesn't mean showing up and waving during election time. All the self-appointed democracy authorities dictate that to the rest of us all the time!
